Jan. 15, 2009: Interactive Session Award

One of the recent trends in technical meetings seems to be a strong emphasis on interactive aspect of the sessions. We also want to give a boost to this tendency in ICCAS-SICE 2009 to make our conference more and more active.

Jan. 1, 2009:

Industrial paper

To encourage the submission from the industries, we have established the industrial paper category. In the reviewing process of this category, the technical usefulness is highly evaluated as well as the technical novelty. The final version can be brief (at least 2 pages) compared to a regular paper.

Presentation style

When submitting a paper, you must select the presentation style (Oral or Interactive). The latter uses the poster but on site demonstration is allowed upon request. Those who want to give on site demonstration should mark the corresponding check box at the submission and describe the details (required space, facilities, power supply and so on) in their extended abstracts. The presentation style of each paper can be changed by the program committee based on the review results.

Dec. 27, 2008:

Student Travel Grant Award (STGA)

This year, we have doubled the budget for further encouragement.
STGA is open for all students including Japanese.
One can apply for it at the time of online submission.
